Directions

Tequila Chili Lime Marinade

• 3 Tablespoons avocado oil

• 1/4 cup Tequila

• 2 Limes juiced

• 4 cloves Garlic minced

• 1/2 cup Chopped cilantro

• Pat dry your flank or skirt steak (or chicken)

• For pan fry slice your steak before marinating

• Season your steak with salt and pepper on both sides

• In a mixing bowl add the tequila, avocado oil, lime juice, honey or brown sugar, chili flakes, cumin, diced serrano or poblano, crushed garlic and cilantro.

• In a 1 gallon zip lock bag or tubby add the flank steak and pour your marinade in

• Let it sit in the fridge for 1 hour to 24 hours

• Slice your peppers and onions

• Make a margarita!

• Prep either your grill, cast iron or carbon steel pan

• Over medium high heat using your cast iron pan

• Add dash or two of avocado oil

• Add bell peppers and onion, season with salt and pepper

• Cook for for 4-6 mins and then

• On the grill or another pan sear your steak or chicken

• Turn meat 1/4 turn continuing searing

• Then flip the steak and repeat (remove from heat at 125-130 internal temp)

• A little before the steak is finished, add honey and splash of tequila to your onions and peppers

• Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing

• Cut against the grain. Cutting against the grain is critical to ensuring that your steak fajitas are tender and have a melt in your mouth quality! For Flank Steak you normally cut length wise first down the middle, then cut across the grain for 2-3" long strips

• Toss the sliced steak in with your veggies, give it a good toss

• Warm up your tortillas in separate pan, or microwave with a moist paper towel

• Make your Fajitas as you like! Add cheese, sour cream, favorite salsa or pico, squeeze of lime and dash of cilantro!
